The signing of Benjamin Mendy is not unanimous at FC Lorient. Whether internally or among supporters of the Hakes.
To everyone’s surprise, Benjamin Mendy signed up with FC Lorient for a two-year contract. Acquitted last week of rape charges against him, the left-back will therefore be able to resume his career as a professional footballer, which had been on hiatus for two years.
Wednesday morning, at 11 a.m., the Breton club surprised a lot of people by announcing this signing. The tweet revealing this information has been viewed more than fifteen million times. An insane figure for the Hakes. “I refreshed the page twice, I thought it was fake news or a hack”, says a club employee, quoted by RMC. Some are totally in favor of what amounts to a real bet. “I fully trust FC Lorient, explains Chantal Lohezic, president of the Breizh Tango supporters group, in remarks relayed by 20 minutes. They are doing a good thing, he is a guy to revive. He was in the France team and he does not come from just any club, it’s a nice touch. Why not ! »

Many Internet users were offended by this signature. “There are plenty of players who have played the last two years who don’t need to damage the club’s image by signing them. Even triple Ballon d’Or, I could never be satisfied to sign a guy with such a passive “is indignant a Lorient supporter on Twitter. “Our image will take a hit”imagine another Hake fan.
